Tricia mentioned this one in another thread but I didn't want to hijack it. Kudos to Chi Chi, Julian, Kurt Lockwood, Voodoo, Nicole and everyone involved, this is something that many have been wanting to see for a loooong time. This str8 chick will definitely be checking it out :)
Brilliant ! With Julian, Mario & Nicole as the host, I'll be jumping on this one, provided it doesn't sell at the usual gravity-defying gay DVD prices.
The AVN article mentions Julian's work in gay videos as Jordan Rivers. He also worked under the name London Kane.
To the best of my knowledge, none of the others in this video has ever appeared in material aimed at gay fans. To all of you, "Welcome, and thank you."
I debated on whether to post it here or in the gay forum, but I thought some females would be interested in this as well.
I've really liked what I've seen from Chi Chi. She has an eye for good looking guys, never uses scrubs, and getting mostly straight guys in something like this is a first, isn't it?
Maybe she had to pay them well because I see that it's in the $40 range, so I might wait or rent it first.
Everything aimed at gay audiences is overpriced. And LaRue has never been one to scrimp on budgets, at least, when s/he's bragging about the amount spent. (I figure you divide whatever s/he claims by 10 to get a realistic figure.) However, LaRue has directed some good porn (along with a tremendous amount of schlock).
Oh who am I kidding, I'm ordering this one because:
Hot guys masturbating 100% DAGGIE-free No "bitches" "sluts" or "whores" in the boxcover blurb No g/g scenes Minimal caterwauling No mandatory reverse cowgirl I'm fairly certain there will be no ATM No disease or blocked fallopian tubes caused by ATP No checklist circus acts did I mention hot guys masturbating
"they call them selfs directores don't even hold the camera just sittin behined the montier lookin at it and just sayin ya ya thats good" ~ Tony TI wish Chi Chi would post here, he/she is certainly one of the more interesting and busiest directors around.
Well, there must be some kind of happy medium somewhere.
I have "Skin Trade" here now. In the BTS, a scene is going on, and he's just hollering like a basketball coach nonstop. "Keep going! Yeah baby! That's my girl! Now grind on him! Fuck that dick! Fuck that dick! Keep going!"
Jesus H., when Ava Vincent is in reverse cowgirl (sorry, db), I think at this point in her career she knows she should be fucking that dick. I don't think she's going to just stop if you don't shriek "Keep going!" at her.
I've only seen a handful of his straight Vivid movies, but there was a bit of this in a "Pornucopia" episode, too, so I kind of assumed it was a trademark. It's gotta annoy the performers, doesn't it?
Sorry to veer off-topic, but I was just watching that. And sorry if the "he" and "his" isn't right, I don't know the etiquette on that.
Interesting? I suppose drag queens are interesting. Not my cup of tea. Prolific? Yes, definitely.
I consider Chi Chi LaRue to be an average (sometimes mediocre) director/producer of gay porn often blessed with a very talented pool of actors at his/her disposal and such a prodigious product output that some significant percentage are bound to be good-to-exceptional. Unlike some other directors -- Bjorn, Kazan, Duroy, to mention three -- I never buy a title because LaRue directed; I buy LaRue titles when stars whose work I am familiar with and like are showcased. Lacking star attraction, the only way I'll buy LaRue titles is if someone else whose judgment I trust highly recommends them -- something that doesn't happen all that often.
BTW, Chi Chi LaRue may be the single most prolific gay porn director in existence, quite possibly with five times the output of his/her nearest competitors. (Hundreds of his/her titles are unattributed and many dozens more are directed by other pseudonyms.)
That doesn't mean I'm not interested in Str8 Shots -- I am -- but it is the cast that attracts my attention, not LaRue's direction.
I'm not sure how much direction would even be involved for something like this...but that's a big part of its appeal for me.
Kperv, this is totally different than the ubiquitous 'jerk-to-pop' seen in straight porn, IMO. When a guy is having sex with a female yet has to stop to pound his pud to get off, that just seems wrong.
I would find a porn stud worrying about gay guys being in the room hard to comprehend. Shyness and self-consciousness aren't winning traits in a porn career, after all. If you stop to think about it, these guys are used to having sex in a room full of people. They're also used to double-teaming a female, so it isn't like they haven't had sex where other guys were involved before.
There are hundreds (tens of hundreds?) of such videos. Usually, if there is live sound and/or the director and cameraman are careless (as they often are) one can hear and/or see str8 porn playing on monitors/televisions in the background. You think THAT helps the gay guys get off?
"they call them selfs directores don't even hold the camera just sittin behined the montier lookin at it and just sayin ya ya thats good" ~ Tony T
This inimitable quote has taken on a life of its own. As it justly should. When I read the "ya ya" part, it makes it seem like the 'directores' are from Switzerland.
Back to the topic, I remember reading something somewhere by Kurt Lockwood, saying that the straight porn companies know that there's a substantial number of gay men who watch straight porn, though the companies don't like to admit it (though they're happy to take money from gay customers). I think Kurt even said he got fan mail from men.
This new Chichi Larue movie has a French actor in it, Pascal St. James, who I like a lot. Another reason for me to have a look at it. I hope that some of the internet retailers stock this title for rent.
Peter1, I'm sorry about your eyes, but there is no man-on-man action in this video. I'm a straight female and I enjoy looking at naked men, but I don't mind about all the naked female pics here.

I'm pretty curious as to how this title will do.(And I don't mean bi curious). There was a title years ago from Odyssey Men that used the same concept. It had Sean Michaels and other "straight" porn men performing "hans solo."
There is a market for well done male masturbation, but it is considerablly less than other gay genre films. But Channel 1 / Rascal titles have been selling extremely well, so i'm sure most retailers who pick up the company will give it a try. The "straight guy" fantasy can be big business. Just look at Blue Blake.
It used to be that the guys in straight titles were not handsome enough to be featured in a gay products. Look at a box from Falcon, Titan, Kristen Bjorn, Bel Ami, etc. You'll see what I mean. Rock hard abs, bulging pecks, handsome faces, huge cocks, etc. The guys in gay features used to always put the straight "shlubs" actors to shame. Hell, the most handsome "straight" actor was Peter North, who started out doing a couple of gay films.
But in the last few years, new porn studs have come up through the ranks that have increased the straight male talent looks drastically. Now girls can watch a straight title and actually be attracted to the guy. What a concept.
Plus, i'm sure those straight guys are getting less than the standard gay stroker. It should sell, but won't be breakin' any records.
Yes, it definitely is. Even though Nicole is there for a few lines of dialogue in between scenes, there is no pretense about being "porn for women" at all, which is both disappointing yet refreshingly honest.
I hope it does well, and I'm glad the guys were open to it.
I've been away a few days. What did you do, DB, post ChiChi's mug shot? That should be enough blind everyone !!! There are some really hot men in this video. Nicole I can ignore but LaRue is a total mood killer!
Why DB, did you buy or rent? Where did you find it for sale? I've got to say, the lighting and posing look good, way better than the typical gonzo film.
This whole subject is so refreshing, compared to the ad nauseum threads about 'Has anyone done a contortionist TAP creampie film yet?'.
I bought it from AdultDVDNow on Tuesday and had it by Thursday, which was real fast service especially for the holidays. I think more places like XRent are carrying it now, but if not let me know and I'll send you mine as soon as I'm finished writing it up. You too GS, IIRC I owe you, heh heh.
I'd say the title is one place to start, Str8 Shots obviously points towards the whole "straight trade" thing/fetish that some gay people like.
"8 studs from the world of straight porn pull it.. OUT!" is also a bit of a giveaway. If it were marketed towards women the tagline would probably be something simply pointing out that the dvd contains hot guys rather then needing to say that they're specifically from straight porn.
Ah yes. Thanks scipio. I was only thinking about the contents of the DVD, and whatever adds they might have taken out. I completely failed to notice the title and cover text.
I wonder if it would make financial sense to repackage the thing and market it at women too.
Kperv the Dense - Masterfully missing the bleeding obvious since 1971.
Kperv the Dense, wasn't he brother to Olaf the Depraved in Norse mythology?
As far as the actual content, there was anything in particular that would exclude females from enjoying it, but I don't think that it would make financial sense to market it to women. For some reason I thought more females would be interested, but apparently not.
I guess they could always try the good old reversable-cover. You know, how on like ZT discs one side of the slick is HC the other is soft, they could have one side of a reversable cover aimed at the Gay market and the other side aimed at women. Can't see how trying it would hurt, anyway.
As to the apparent lack of females, DB, if you mean the lack of input on it in this thread, bear in mind it's located in the middle of threads about DAP and ATOGM, so it's possibly not the most frequently-read section of the forums by many women.
Close. They were two of a litter of four identical quadruplets, which also included Lars the Hung and Magnus the Buff . Yep, four Scandinavian guys, strong, big dicks, thick as bricks and ready for any kink.
